Fab Friday 04

Hello everyone! I hope that you had a nice day yesterday. Mine was good, I got to see some of my peeps at the birthday party and I spent some time with my friend Sandy too. My daughter came over and we had dinner together and then my friend Louis stopped by and we chatted with my neighbors downstairs. All in all a very nice day!

Today’s post is for this week’s Fab Friday Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

When I first saw it I thought… hmmm. We all know how I love non-traditional Holiday and card and it doesn’t get more non-traditional that these colors! The base of my card is Summer Starfruit Card Stock. The main panel is stamped across the top with the pine needles form the Watercolor Winter Stamp Set in Island Indigo. I stamped the greeting from the Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set in Midnight Muse. The ornaments are from the Merry Minis Stamp Set and are stamped in Summer Starfruit and Midnight Muse. I used the Merry Minis Punch Pack to punch them out. They are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals that also hold the Island Indigo Bakers Twine in place. I used the Paper-Piercing Tool and the Stampin’ Pierce Mat to poke some holes in the panel. To make it a little easier to get the twine through to the back I used a needle threader. For a little added security I used some tape to secure the ends around the back. The paned is then mounted to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I think the Island Indigo pines have a little bit of a blue spruce feel to them and I love the Merry Minis Stamp Set and Punch Pack. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Fab Friday Challenge Card. Thank you for your time and comments! Have a great Sunday!

Freshly Made Sketches #56

A very good Friday morning to you! It’s my favorite day of the week! I have some projects to get to this weekend, a one year old birthday party and a little outing with my friend Sandy! I love the weekend, especially when it’s going to be a productive one! Today’s post is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. This week Rita is our host for the sketch and she has given us this…

Avery nice simple panel that I thought would be perfect for a non-tradiotional Holiday card. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I added a panel of Summer Starfruit to the base. The strip of paper across the bottom is from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack and I backed it with a piece of Early Espresso to make it a little more rigid. The ribbon is Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon and I used a Round Designer Ribbon Slide instead of a bow. Some Sticky Strip adheres it around the back of the DSP strip and  some more Sticky Strip on each side holds it a little above the card. The image is from the Christmas Lodge Stamp Set and is stamped in Always Artichoke on Very Vanilla. I stamped the greeting from the More Merry Messages in Cherry Cobbler and backed it with a piece of Early Espresso. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold it to the card. I really like the combination of the Summer Starfruit, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso. The houndstooth DSP and the colors give it a little bit of a vintage feel without any distressing. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. Thank you, as always, for visiting with me today and have a great Friday! 🙂

Good morning! I hope you are all well today! The sun finally came out yesterday afternoon and I was so happy to see some blue sky after 3 dreary days! Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. For my second week as a guest designer we have a color challenge…

Two of the new In-Colors and and Chocolate Chip. I wanted to keep my card clean and simple. The base of the card is Gumball Green Card Stock. I used the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and a piece of Chocolate Chip for the background. Before I adhered it to the card I wrapped three pieces of Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around it. The tree image is form the Evergreen Stamp Set. The solid image is stamped in Gumball Green and the outline is stamped in Chocolate Chip. I used the Merry Minis Punch Pack to punch out a piece of Summer Starfruit for the star on the top that is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Gumball Green. Both the image and the greeting are backed by some Gumball Green before being adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I definitely have to say that I wasn’t very fond of Summer Starfruit when I first saw it but it has become one of my favorite colors. I hope that you enjoyed my second card as guest designer with Create with Connie and Mary. Head on over to the site and see what the other design team members have come up with and post your card too! Thank you for visiting with me and have a wonderful day!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #11

Hey everyone! How are we today? Hopefully all is well, it’s Wednesday so we are halfway there! Still gloomy here on Long Island, I think today is supposed to be the last of it! I can’t wait to see the sun again! 🙂

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a sketch for you…

I thought Holiday card at first and then I decided that since I have been having so much fun with Halloween I’d do one of those instead! The base of my card is Tangerine Tango Card Stock. I used a piece of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper for the background. The band across the middle is made using the Etruscan Elegance Jumbo Stampin’ Around Wheel, unmounted and stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch with Tangerine Tango and cut it down the middle and adhered it to the back of the band with 2-Way Glue before adhering to the card with SNAIL. The stamped image is from the Toxic Treats Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla and cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. I put a piece of Tangerine Tango punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered that to some Basic Black that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit Die. They are all mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is also from the Toxic Treats Stamp set, stamped in Basic Black and I flagged the ends with my Paper Snips before adhering that to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP and the Etruscan Wheel breaks up the pattern and coordinates great with the Toxic Treats Stamp Set. I hope that enjoyed this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge card. Click on over and see what the other talented ladies have come up with this week and post your own card. Thank you for stopping by and have a super day!

Morning all! How are we doing today? I’m fine, made it through a dreary Monday here on Long Island. It’s supposed to be dreary until Thursday, the cold weather came all of a sudden and I’m not a fan! It is supposed to warm up next week so that a good thing!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week the talented Teresa Kline has provided us with this sketch…

I do love some flags! The base of my card is Summer Starfruit Card Stock. I used a piece of Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper for the background. The strip across the top is Cherry Cobbler that I embossed with the Retired Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The flags are Gumball Green and are adhered along the bottom of the embossed strip with SNAIL. A piece of Summer Starfruit is cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Dies and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The image is from the Winter Wonderland Stamp Set and is heat embossed using Versa-Mark and Basic Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I colored the image in with Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green, Blush Blossom and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Markers. The greeting is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I punched the piece out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it to the doily with SNAIL. The flag on the main part is Gumball Green and is stamped with an image from the Chock Full of Cheer Stamp Set also in Gumball Green. A Brushed Bronze Designer Button is adhered to the card with some Mini Glue Dots and I stamped the start from the Merry Mini Stamp Set in Summer Starfruit on Summer Starfruit and punched it out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack. It too is adhered with a Mini Glue Dot. When I color an image in I like to heat emboss it, it makes it easier to stay in the lines! I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you very much for checking in with me today. Have a super fun day!

Paper Players #116

Good morning, is it Monday already?! Where did the weekend go?! I would like to go back in time and find the genius that thought a five day work week and two days off was a good idea! LOL! It was gloomy and cold here most of the day yesterday and rained. It definitely feels like fall. I’m also not a fan of it getting dark so early and soon it will be dark at 4:00, bummer! Anyway, there is my morning rant, now on to more pleasant things!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week the lovely LeAnne has given us this interesting challenge…

I was thinking of using the Tea Shoppe set but I opted for a holiday theme instead. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used a piece of the flocked window sheet from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I punched a hole in both the card and the flocked window sheet with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. Some very carefully placed glue holds the flocked window sheet to the card base. I also used a piece of the Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP and my Simply Scored Tool to make a rosette which I adhered with some Mini Glue Dots inside the punched circle. The mug is from the Scentsational Season Stamp Set. It is stamped in Soft Suede and cut out with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. I adhered it to the rosette with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting is from the Chock Full of Cheer Stamp Set and is also stamped in Soft Suede. I used the Extra Large Oval Punch to punch it out and backed it with a piece of Soft Suede that I cut out using the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. They are adhere to each other and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the flocked window sheet and rosettes are my favorite embellishment. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Paper Player Challenge card. Thank you so very much for checking in with me today, I hope that your day is amazing!

CCMC 221 and Guest Designer!

A very good morning to you all! I have some exciting news to share with you today. I will be a guest designer on Create with Connie and Mary for the months of October and November!! I’m so happy to be a part of such a talented team for the next two months! I have been a fan of theirs since I started with Stampin’ Up! last year. What an honor! For my first week with the talented ladies we have a sketch…

I love the simplicity of it and I’m a big fan of flags! I wanted to keep the card clean and simple so I thought the best stamp to showcase would be the Heart of Christmas. The base of my card is Early Espresso Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Primrose Petals with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The flags are created from strips of Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I stamped the Heart of Christmas Stamp in Lucky Limeade and again in Early Espresso. I cut out the center of the sentiment on the Early Espresso piece and mounted it to the Lucky Limeade piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s backed by a piece of Real Red and a piece of Early Espresso before being adhered to the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Heart of Christmas stamp is definitely one of my favorites out of the new Holiday Catalog. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card this week. Head on over to Create with Connie and Mary and post your card for this week’s challenge, I look forward to seeing what you do with the sketch! Thank you so much for visiting and have a wonderful day!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 10

Good morning! I hope that the weather is better by you than it is here, it rained most of the day yesterday and it’s still not great out this morning. I had a nice dinner with my friend Heather and her parents last night and then we listened to some music for a bit. I love my peeps!

Today’s post is for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Design Team Challenge. This week we have a sketch…

I was thinking Christmas when I first saw the sketch but since I’m loving Halloween this year I went with that instead. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on a piece of Crumb Cake for the background. A thin strip of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper is adhered across the upper half. A piece of Tangerine Tango is cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and pierced with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack. The stamped images are from the Ghoulish Googlies Clear Mount Bundle.The bundle comes with the Stamp Set and the Designer Kit. I stamped the mummy in Crumb Cake and the bats in Basic Black and cut them out with my Paper Snips. They are all adhered to the label and card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used my Jewelry Tag Punch to punch out the Boo! from the Tiny Tags Clear Mount Stamp Set and also punched out a piece of Basic Black. They are attached to the card with a Neutrals Collection Brad. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango and punched out with the Word Window Punch. It too is adhered to the card with Stampin Dimensionals. I love the Ghoulish Googlies Stamp Set, especially the little bats! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Paper Craft Crew Design Team Challenge card.

Morning everyone! Did we all make it through Monday ok? I had card class last night which is always a good time. My daughter comes with me and Sandy and the other ladies are awesome. We always have a good laugh, it’s my favorite Monday of the month! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week we have this sketch provided by Julee Tilman…

I have been trying to incorporate some different materials into my cards lately and today I used some burlap. The base of the card is Early Espresso Card Stock. I kept the background simple, just a piece of Crumb Cake with the greeting stamped in Early Espresso from the Chock Full of Cheer Stamp Set in the upper right corner. The large Early Espresso circle is cut out with the retired Circle Scissor Pro. On top of that is a piece of Cherry Cobbler cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die. The left side is cut off and it is adhered to the card with SNAIL. For the flagged element I used a piece of Island Indigo and some Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper. Next, I adhered a piece of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon around the back of the Crumb Cake piece with some Sticky Strip and adhered the whole panel to the card. I punched a piece of Island Indigo out with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and used the Circles #2 Bigz Die to cut out a piece of burlap and adhered it to the scallop circle with more Sticky Strip. The ornament, from the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set, is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and I cut it out with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies. Both are then adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the bow I used more Cherry Cobbler Seam Biding Ribbon and the fork method to tie it, a Mini Glue Dot holds it in place. I love the layers and the burlap gives it a little unexpected texture. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thanks you for spending some time with me today, I hope the rest of your day is great!

Paper Players #115 – All 9!

Good Monday morning! I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. I was in Manhattan most of the day yesterday visiting a bunch of friends and dropping off an order. I love Manhattan, especially when the weather cools down into the upper 60’s. My friend Kim and I had dinner at this restaurant called Nick’s on 94th and 2nd Ave. The food there is excellent, if you are ever in the area I definitely recommend it!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week Anne Marie has given us this Tic-Tac-Toe challenge…

I looked at it for a while and just couldn’t decide which ones I wanted to do, so I did all nine! The base of my card is So Saffron Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Baja Breeze with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for my background. The cake is from the Love & Laughter Stamp set and is stamped in Basic Gray on So Saffron. I cut it a little longer and wrapped a piece of Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon around the bottom before I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The candle is punched form the Cupcake Builder Punch from Basic Gray and Primrose Petals and adhered with 2-Way Glue. The flags are Basic Gray and Primrose Petals. The trees are from the Merry Minis Stamp Set, stamped in Primrose Petals and Basic Gray, and are punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack and adhered to the flags with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons are adhered to the flags with Mini Glue Dots and all have a Basic Jewels Rhinestone in the middle. The Happy Birthday greeting is from the Memorable Moments Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Gray. The Congratulations greeting is from the Love & Laughter Stamp Set and the Merry Christmas is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals. The “&” is from the Family Reunion Stamp Set and is also stamped in Primrose Petals. All of the greetings are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. So let’s see… Christmas, Sparkle/Bling, Ribbon, Buttons, Wedding, Yellow & Gray, Red & Blue, Element repeated in 3’s and Birthday… Check! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks packed Paper Players Challenge card. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
